Enhancements

Improved Maps list which now provides more information on the maps (changed date, projection, type and storage location).

There is now a “Snap to existing data” option in “Capture and map tools” settings. This lets you set whether feature snapping in on, off or set by a tick box on in the capture menu. If the last option is set then a “Snap” item is included on the main capture menu which allows you to turn feature snapping on or off.

Improved Templates screen hierarchy so there are fewer levels on handheld or portrait screens. Also now uses new drag and drop method for reordering items.

Shape files export now generates a .prj file, which defines the projection and makes import into certain systems smoother.

Find results now lists all attributes in a table format. The column widths are auto sized based on the initial batch of features. Column widths remain fixed to ensure smooth scrolling and display. The column header is a button which if pressed resizes that column. The resize function is disabled on Android 4 as it doesn’t work due to limitations in the old system software.

Revised View Layer list: Display on tick now in list; long press and hold drag handle to reorder; tap layer name to rename or delete.

Now support GeoTIFF so world files are no longer required if the projected coordinates are stored in the image.

Delete view and Delete layer now include the option to also delete the associated mapping. Capture layers that have been exported up to date are pre selected.

Revised WMS handling to improve resolution and speed of setup.

There is now a “Views and maps” item on the View menu which allows multiple Views (and maps) to be selected and shared or deleted.

You can now press and hold on the layer name and multi select layers for deletion in the View screen.

Added some new feature colours.

Displays the privacy policy when first run (after the software license) so as to comply with GDPR.

Added Laser “GPS offset capture” function. This creates a point whenever a laser shot is taken as an offset from the current GPS position. The control point does not need to be set or moved when using this function as the GPS position is used as a dynamic control point.

Added “GPS background trail” edit function. This is similar to GPS trail but works in the background and does not display the attributes form. This is the same as the “GPS Capture” function that was in PocketGIS 2 on Windows CE platforms.

The “Connected to internal GPS” reminder notification now appears on all Android versions. Previously this just appeared when running on Android 8 which requires it to keep the position alive when PocketGIS is in the background or the screen is locked. It’s a useful reminder to save battery when GPS is not in use. It does however disappear if a mock location is being received via a location app as the actual internal GPS is no longer being used.

Area calculations now take the height into account so you get the area on a slope.

Floating point annotations now display to the decimal places value set in the template, previously this was always to three decimal places. You will need to apply the template before this takes effect.

Added the ability to import KML / KMZ files.

Added support for Web Map Server which can be found on the View menu. The Web map services item on the view menu lets you add a WMS layer which will automatically pull in mapping as you pan and zoom. See the help for more information.

When the attributes form is open, and a text field is selected, the value of any laser shot is automatically inserted into the attribute.
